Is It Time For a Chimney Sweep & Inspection?

A chimney inspection should be performed annually. Safety guidelines set by the National Fire Protection Association call for annual professional inspections of all wood or coal stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, chimney connectors, and all other solid-fueled heating equipment.

List of Reasons for Inspection:

  • If you are unsure of the chimney’s last cleaning & inspection

  • If it has not been used for a substantial amount of time

  • If you have recently purchased your home and are unsure of the history

How is a Chimney Sweep Performed?

Specialized brushes are used to remove creosote and soot from the firebox, smoke shelf, elbows, and connector pipes. This is done from both outside and inside the house. Occasionally, there is creosote buildup that cannot be removed by brushing. Professional chimney sweeps may use chemicals to alter the composition of the hardened creosote and turn it into a powdery substance that can be easily removed.
